hi, our website is a little bit outdated. drupal 6.2 is really old. also we have some technical problems with drupal core/mudeles. for example the site search. imo, it is time to update the system. there are two choices. stay on drupal 6 and update all core and modules to the last 6 series state. or update drupal to 7.xx. or the newest 8.xx which will released soon. both procedures require much time.
in case one (stay at 6) our own modifications on some drupal core and module files need a lot of afterwork because this files will override during update. also some modules we use are marked as deprecated. they maybe don't work correctly after an update. that's why i never perform an update till now. in case two (update to 7 or 8) we have to migrate the old content and forum. there are some drupal helper modules available which make this work more easy. but at last it will be much work to get it working. imo, if we really decide to to spend spare time fore some love on h2 web site we can directly jump to newest version. what did you think? also i am unsure if we really need the https protocol. we have many problems with drupal because this. as you know, we only can use one certificate for https because we have only one ip address. this means all sites on our server share this certificate on one ip using some tricky apache rewrites. in case of drupal we also need modifications on drupal core to get it working. this end in update problems because this modifications are lost after an core update. also we permanently fight with strange address. you know hydrogen-music.org will switch to secure.popez.org/hcms if we use https protocol. this is not so nice. currently we use https for login procedure and for administer the site. did we really need this? what did you think? best wolke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
